All common household devices are infrared compatible and have separate remote to control them. With the advancement of the society and smart home, the demand of home appliances are increasing resulting in the increase in remote controls for them. This paper proposes an approach to completely remove the remote and use our android mobile with infrared port facility to control the home appliances....

Communications processing is an important part of distributed language systems with facilities such as RPC (remote procedure call) and RMI (remote method invocation). For security, messages may require cryptographic operations in addition to ordinary marshaling. We investigate a method for wrapping communications processing around an entity with secure local communication, such as a single mach...

Robotic surgery and remotely controlled teleoperational systems are on the rise. However, serious limitations arise on both the hardware and software side when traditional modeling and control approaches are taken. These limitations include the incomplete modeling of robot dynamics, tool–tissue interaction, human– machine interfaces and the communication channel. Furthermore, the inherent laten...

Thirty years have passed since Pfeffer and Salancik’s seminal work on resource dependence theory (RDT). During this time RDT has been applied broadly across the research domain to explain how organizations reduce environmental interdependence and uncertainty. In this review, the authors assess the conceptual development, empirical research, and application of RDT. They structure their review ar...

Security based on cryptographic techniques is commonly used in many applications from many fields. Using security based on cryptographic techniques in remote control systems is certainly a subject of great interest. This paper will try to bring some points of view on the security objectives present in remote control systems and on the cryptographic primitives used to ensure them. Two solutions ...

Using resource dependency theory (RDT), this research analyzes how organizations control their information technology resources to improve organizational performance. According to RDT, organizations must manage their dependency on external organizations and limit external dependencies when resources are considered critical. The current study proposes and tests a Strategic Control Model positing...

Endovascular intervention is expected to become increasingly popular in medical practice, both for diagnosis and for surgery. Accordingly, researches of robotic systems for endovascular surgery assistant have been carried out widely. Robotic system takes advantages of higher precision, can be controlled remotely etc. In this paper a novel robotic catheter manipulation system is presented. The d...

In this project the design of a TV remote control for elderly was approached taking into account their needs and their visual and motor deficiencies. Following the iterative design process preliminary user interviews were conducted and an easy to use TV remote control was designed as well as evaluated. The device is equipped with the basic controls for volume and changing channels and it also i...

in this paper, we present a way for students to access and operate laboratory equipment, controlled by a laboratory computer via a remote access program. In this way, the solution is not dependent on the specific laboratory equipment, as long as the equipment can be remotely controlled. The system can easily be altered to be used in another laboratory setup. Students are able to make reservatio...

There are a number of distributed applications that use the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) paradigm to invoke remote tasks. When a large number of tasks are invoked, the performance of a distributed application may become unacceptably slow. This paper investigates whether or not a paradigm known as Remote Evaluation can be used as a replacement for RPC when the number of remote tasks invocations i...
